Onboarding
“Onboarding and communication with employees is amazing with Gusto, especially at year-end.”
JADR Consulting, LLC (Slyvania, OH)
Onboarding
"Gusto helps streamline new employee onboarding and provides a simple-to-use platform for managing payroll/benefits."
inVigor Law Group (Seattle, WA)
Payroll
With Gusto, I think of payroll as a 30-second job now rather than 30 minutes and scary. The website is so friendly and a joy to use.
Integrative Pain Clinic, LLC (West Chester, PA)
Payroll
My favorite thing about Gusto is the fact that it takes a lot of tedious and time consuming payroll work off my plate and allows me to focus on my business.
Distant Moon, Inc. (Hamilton, VA)
Benefits
By using Gusto to manage benefits, there is less paperwork and I know we are always in compliance.
April Lane Services (Plymouth, IN)
Benefits
Using Gusto as our broker is so much easier than a separate broker; I love the integrated insurance portal for employees and synced payroll deductions. Gusto eliminates the friction of having benefits externally and keeps them in sync with payroll.
Biz Hippo (Texas)
Support
I love having a Concierge team I can call on if I have any questions. I also totally enjoy having the ability to have Human Resource questions answered or researched quickly.
Perioperative Services of Mississippi (Jackson, MS)
Support
The support team at Gusto is so helpful. We rely on them constantly. Whenever something comes up, I reach out and literally 24 hours later they tell us what to do or assure us that they’ve already handled it for us.
Student Loan Hero (20+ states)
Ease of use
Gusto saves me the most headache because unlike my last payroll software I can administer payroll remotely.
Terra Plana Family Farms
Ease of use
I love that all I have to to is log the hours and everything is done no more to do or think about.
Snider Construction, LLC
Self-serve
Filing taxes and employee self-serve functionality are the biggest timesavers. The fact that I can run payroll from my phone from anywhere in the world has been such a relief. And the reporting capabilities are very useful when I have to submit data for any reason.
Upohar, LLC
Customer Support
All-in-one platform with integration is super helpful. The streamlined process is great. The easy "here's what you need to do" and "here's what you need to do next" communication is great.
Arise Community Church
Integrations
The integration is key, but we are still setting this up for our accounting, our broker, our retirement, and we need to keep our WC with SAIF because of the money we get back each year. So, bring you own WC compnay/ integration would be a great addition.
Eugene Waldorf School
Onboarding
I'm a new small business owner. Gusto made the paperwork part of bringing on my first employees a breeze!
UNM
Ease of use
I love gusto, it’s so insanely easy to use. I can do it on the go anywhere I am. It doesn’t require a ton of effort and they send you reminders constantly when payroll is needed to be done so if you’re schedule is all over the place you don’t forget.

Hospitality
Onboarding with Gusto is great! We are able to gather minimal details from the prospect, send an offer letter, and allow the employee to complete their personal details all the way through 1st day. No concerns with incorrect spellings or wrong information.
TradeWind Coffee Company
Computer Software
For me, tax compliance is very important. As I'm in Brazil, the rules are very different, and here we have just one law. Each state has different tax rules in the US, and Gusto helps a lot.
Pipefy
Food
Our state has special Labor & Industries taxes that other systems we looked at couldn't handle. Gusto files new hire paperwork and makes onboarding super easy.
Swanky Scoop
Healthcare
The software platform is intuitive. Other platforms were intimidating and very difficult to understand. Gusto customer service is excellent.
Wellness Solutions, LLC
Legal
With only myself as the employee, once the initial setup was complete and I understood the terminology to transfer information to QuickBooks accurately, it's easy-peasy to complete the payroll process.
Integrity Reporting Group, Inc.
Marketing & Advertising
I like that it has the employee portal with an easy onboarding process. The time-keeping system is super-intuitive. The notifications for tax filings are pleasant, and it's easy to access the documents. Very nicely done.
Neala Communications, LLC
Professional Services
It is very easy to run payroll every other week. I love the onboarding process and letting employees fill out their own paperwork. Payroll is just a few clicks each time. I also like that our workers comp comes out easily.
Bed Bugs Undercover, LLC
Retail
I love that Gusto takes care of filing and paying employment taxes.
The Art Terrarium, LLC
Construction
The ability to run off cycle payroll, from any account to any employee. That and the work access to forms. It doesn’t save me money but time and most importantly frustration.
